For those who have been supporting or following me since my mum was diagnosed with LC, I just wanted to let you know that my lovely mum passed away a week ago today. I know she had LC and there was no cure, but it was a terrible shock as she’d only just finished a course of radiotherapy and was due to start second-line treatment last week. I cannot believe I have lost her and my heart is broken. None of it seems real. She was struggling terribly with fatigue, but no pain and up until she had the radiation, she was feeling well. She went to sleep and never woke up and I have so many whys?
I am organising mum’s service, which is keeping me focused and we have asked for donations in lieu of flowers to made to the Roy Castle Charity.
Thank you for your support
Sarah xx
